<I or insert your name> attended the Watson Headache® Institute, <insert course name ie Foundation/Consolidation/Certification> Headache Course titled “Cervicogenic Headache and The Role of C1-C3 Cervical Afferents in Primary Headache” presented by Dr Dean H Watson PhD, Australian Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. The course was held on <Insert Online/Offline>, <If Offline insert Date, Month, Year>, in <Insert city>, <Insert country>. For further information, go to: www.WatsonHeadacheInstitute.com.
The course was based on the Watson Headache® Approach, a protocol for the skilled assessment and management of the upper cervical (neck) spine in headache and migraine conditions. The Watson Headache® Approach is recognised as a scientifically researched method of examination and treatment.
The diagnostic accuracy of the Watson Headache® Approach confirms if disorders in the upper neck are responsible for headache or migraine determining the exact nature of the disorder as well as which spinal joints are involved. The Watson Headache® Approach comprises a series of original and other non-high velocity thrust manual techniques and exercises which are embedded in an innovative clinical reasoning process to address a previously (until the early 90s) unrecognised pattern of relevant musculoskeletal misbehaviour. A fundamental and founding (early 90s) tenet of the Watson® Headache Approach is reproduction and resolution of typical head pain when applying sustained pressure to specific upper cervical (including C0-C1) intervertebral segments. The latter identifies with unerring accuracy the referring segment and research has shown that reproduction and resolution confirms a cervical (peripheral) source of central sensitisation in primary headache conditions..
